On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was a bit of bleeding and feathering in the flex nib but it did well in the other nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Gele Oker is close to Diamine Sunshine Yellow and Toucan Gold. Click here to see the Akkerman ink together, and click here to see the yellow inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Kaweco Sport Orange with a double broad nib on Tomoe River paper. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, it’s a nice summer yellow, and well behaved. It’s very similar to Diamine Sunshine Yellow however, so I don’t think I need both. It is very light in extra fine and fine nibs, so I prefer to use it in medium and broad nibs.
